What's that about making someone pass out??
hmmm...I not only can touch my toes, but can lay my palms flat on the ground. Not terribly impressive but something not everyone can do...

Well I know one but it's tough to explain so sorry if I confuse you.
A person sits on a chair. Simple
4 people stand around them and have to lift the person, but the way they do it is using their index and middle fingers. One person puts their two fingers under the left arm, the next person under their right arm, next under the right knee and the the last under the left knee. Now if these people try and lift, it'll be a struggle.
What they do next is, one person places their left hand over the head of the one who is seated. You've to make sure you don't touch the head. Then, going clockwise, the next person places their left hand above the last persons hand and so on til everyone has their left hand above the seated person. They then continue doing the same with their right hand. (again, they shouldn't actually be touching each others hands)
Once they all have both hands out, they then remove their hands one at a time, anti-clockwise, starting with the person who's hand is at the top.
And once that's done, they try to lift the person again as they did in the beginning and they should have no problem whatsoever. :weird:
And an easier one is to stand facing a wall. Stretch out your arm so that it is perfectly straight and your fingertips are just touching the wall. The bend your arm back from the elbow and rub your elbow. Now straighten your arm again and you should find that it no longer reaches the wall!

i know how to make toast
i put some bread into a thing called a toaster for a predetermined length of time and then after the toaster ejects my bread i spread some butter or margarin on it really quickly
or i can grill it on low heat using butter or margarin and that makes better tasting toast

LOL, anyways, I think this has alot to do, if not everything with the concepts of mind over matter. Theres lots of things the human body can be pushed to do that should either be nearly physically impossible for an average person, or it would require extraordinary mental discipline.
Here's a book I had when I was a kid:

Cool to see it's still available. Thanks for reminding me of it.

One we did in grade school was to just stand in a doorway and lift your arms sideways until your wrists touch the doorway. Press as hard as you can to try to lift your arms for a while, then step out of the doorway and relax your arms completely. They seem to rise of their own accord.
Supposedly you can taste hot sauce if you put it on the inside of your wrist. Don't like dump a whole bunch on there, of course.
George Stratton, in the 1890's, made a pair of glasses that inverted everything. After wearing them a while, his brain adapted and everything looked normal. I can't find many references, but I remember hearing that when he removed the glasses after several days he saw everything upside down.
I once wore an eyepatch for a day (no injuries, just wanted to be a pirate), and when I took it off I noticed the room getting darker and brighter as my eyes tried to equalize. When I looked in the mirror, I could see one pupil dilating while the other contracted, and vice versa for a few seconds.
You can also condition your pupils. If you shine a light on your eye (with caution) and play a certain sound at the same time, over and over again, then look in a mirror and play the sound without the light, your pupils will contract.
And supposedly, if you spend your entire day reading stuff online, your butt will eventually assume the shape of a chair...
